The highlight of the tour is Emerald Cave, a small grotto tucked into the walls of the Black Canyon along the Arizona side of the Colorado River, just 10 miles downstream from the Hoover Dam and two miles up from Willow Beach.

This grotto offers a mesmerizing experience. As sunlight peaks over the canyon's towering 600-foot walls, it illuminates the riverbed's verdant algae, creating an emerald spectacle that transforms the grotto entrance into a captivating scene.
